Trying to choose supplements carefully
I’m still working on getting a supplement regime going that makes sense. I’m wondering about algaecal - their website makes some pretty big claims. Anybody have verifiable results on algaecal?
Would anyone like to share what all you're taking, for what reason and did you see actual results?

I’m still taking 4000IU per day.
Heading into New England winter and don’t want to lose the momentum.
For what it’s worth I met with a nutritionist this year and she thought my daily D3, K2 and magnesium regimen was optimal.
Cheers

1 Reaction@londonex I am actually afraid of mine getting too high. You may have different advice. But if yours went up 40 points and continues, wouldn't it get over 80 and be toxic? Do you have frequent testing?
I test every 6 months,
4000IU seems to keep me at my baseline, as I do think my body doesn’t absorb it well which is why it was so low for decades.
Toxicity is extremely rare and incredibly unlikely at the 2-4k level.
My D level was 27 in June. I was getting around 1700 IU from supplements at the time. I bumped it up to 4000 IU, and three months later, the level was 37. I decided to scale back to 3000, figuring that should keep me in the normal range with a slower increase. Next blood test is January, so we'll see where we are.
My brother likes to take 10,000 at a time (not daily), and he's fine. That's too high in my opinion, but there's a vocal D3 contingent out there, to be sure.
